Matchless

OK, so $39.99 would have been better spent on some shoes, or a few magazines, or that new hot yoga mat at Lululemon, but I did try Match & I guess I can cross that off my "Things to Try Before I Die" list.  Out of the 900 views that I got (that's not too bad, 30 a day!) I really didn't have a lot of success.  I did go out on one date & I do actually have 2 or 3 others lined up, but for the most part, people on Match are weird. 

I finally did figure out the block feature on Match & got rid of the Texter - that kept sending me emails & texts, but never wanted to meet in public, unless I wanted to join him at the Borgata.  Ah...no thanks.  Another 23 year old (male nurse - not that there's anything wrong with that - just being descriptive) kept emailing me to tell me that he was still interested.  23.  Hmmmmm........no.  Block.

My favorite part of Match are the liars.  OK liars is a harsh word, so let me use the term fibbers.   One guy I emailed (strictly to ask him if he worked at my gym because he looked familiar) wrote me back & said that he did in fact work there, but that he was no longer on Match because he has had a girlfriend for the past 7 months.  Every time from that day forward when I logged in I could see that he had been active within the past day or so.  I find that interesting, as if I was in a relationship, I think I would have cancelled my account.

Another person, who shall remain nameless, said that he never went on Match & only signed up because people at work made him.  Yet, he's active every single day.  That puzzles me.

Which brings me to original conclusion, that people are really not serious about online dating, that many of the people I encountered (as my friend Erich stated) are serial daters or only on there to hook up.  Well, that's not my thing.  But at least I got a good vasectomy story out of it & I hope it kept you entertained! 

Soooooo I am sorry to report my Matching has come to an end.  At this point I'd rather get a flu shot than have to go through the whole wink, wink email nonsense any longer.  & I can't see spending any more money on something that really didn't work out.  I'd think buying a shirt that I will wear once & throw out sounds way more worth it to me. 

On to the next adventure!
